French Blue Garden Chair

France, 20th Century

$395

Vintage Garden Sylvie Favorite

Folding chairs like these were made to go wherever the shade went, carried out to the terrace for lunch and folded flat against the wall when the evening came in. Found in Montpellier, these vintage French garden chairs have scrolled metal frames and slatted seats and backs, all painted a soft, faded blue that has worn a little at the edges. Chairs that folded flat were the practical heart of the French garden, light enough to move with the sun and easy to stack away when the season turned. Sylvie sets two of them around a small table at the end of the garden, a carafe of rosé and a bowl of cherries between them. Four available, each sold separately.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, these pieces have lived outdoors for years and show minor chips and surface wear consistent with their age. The heavy metal chairs fold for easy storage and show areas of significant paint chipping, exposing the raw metal underneath. When folded, each chair measures 44.5" H x 16" W x 5" D. All part of the character we love in an old garden piece.
